Village Boundaries

The Mastic Beach Village Exploratory Committee has met and adopted proposed boundaries. The excitement generated in the Mastic Beach community has reached an all time high. Although there are a few naysayers, the overall sentiment is "It's About Time".

The Village boundaries include all of the 11951 zip code area. Also included is a small portion of the 11967 zip code that borders Mastic Beach and has been purposely excluded from Smith Point's proposed village boundaries. At a recent meeting it was decided to include these areas rather than leave them out as a potential quality of life threat down the line.

Now that the boundaries have been outlined, the real work begins to bring this proposal to a vote. Everyone within the boundaries will have the opportunity to vote in the village election.
So what does this all mean? It means that it is our responsibility to get the facts, educate ourselves, keep an open mind and make an informed decision when this comes to a vote.
